dictment above noted that this "double
tender" OF coupons was q mistake; that
as soon as they found that the error had
been made they went TO the Treasurer
and corrected it. At the same time he
does not admit that the act OF Assembly
in question ia constitutional, but tays
that in this instance it is unnecessary to
consider it, as the "double tender was
unintentional.
Woodworth's case was taken up for
trial. This is the tramp who. after being
kindly given food and shelter by Dir.
Satterwhite, next morning, when every
body had gone to church, went back 10
his benefactor's residence and broke into
it and stole numerous articles. The
trial resulted in the accused being sent
to the penitentiary for two years.
None of the other cases in which in
dictments were found were tried yester-
day.
Judge Minor, after hearing the appeal
case of the colored manJef johnson, who
was sentenced by Justice Gunn to impris-
onment in Jail, qusshed the warrant on
some technical ground. Another war
rant was issued for Johnson's rearrest.
This will be his third arrest on this
charge. First he was arrested in July
on warrant issued by Justice Gum and
was convicted. it turned out, however,
that Gums term had expired the 1st
of July and he had not been reap
pointed. Therefore the prisoner was re-
leased by Judge Minor. Gum was re-
appointed, and he had johnson arrested
again and again convicted him. The
Court now directs his release a second
time, and the Squire will have him
brought to trial third time.
Mr.. Henry Neurohr qualified as deputy
to Treasurer George E. Anderson, and
the court adjourned over until to-day.
